QuoteI don't see much hope for a peaceful way out of our economic problems, because even if Green Hydrogen could be used to substitute, we're going to have a shrinking amount of per capita available energy until such time as we have a significant die off of the population. That won't happen without violence.

Reference to US per capita energy use use since 1965. We've had shrinking per capita energy use here in the US since 1979.
So 45 years of this thing happening, how more farther does the per capita current Kwh or a quantity of additional years/decades before the violence kicks off? And I don't mean run of the mill Watts riots or Rodney King or George Floyd riots and BLM stuff,more like large scale Hooverville based violence, entire towns being taken over so civilians can loot Walmarts and grocery stores for food, the stuff imagined by the survivalist types.
New Orleans after Katrina, that scale, but lasting longer, multiple cities, National Guard needing rolled out to stop the violence, etc etc. 60,000 Kwh/person? 40,000? 20,000? 5 years? 20?
